Times of crisis require governments to step up and take lead. While the people are facing issues due to a definitive loss of income, the government of Bihar introduced the Bihar Anganwadi Labharthi Yojana along with the Department of Social Welfare.
Anganwadi basically is a maternal and child care outing by the government and especially in trying times like these, these Anganwadis are stepping up to the crisis. Women from the below poverty line were, up until now, given meals and healthcare tips to get them safely through their pregnancy. However, in the light of the corona infection, the equivalent amount in lieu of the food will be paid to those women who have registered to the Bihar Anganwadi Labharti yojana online.
Beneficiaries include:
Beneficiaries primarily include children who are registered at Anganwadi centers, lactating women, and pregnant women.
